❋ Ishaan Verma Resume
Art Educator · MFA · 13 years · NIFT/NID portfolio mentor

Talent is a myth. Practice is a medium.

13 years teaching art from Grade 6 to design-school portfolios. My students learn to see before they learn to draw — observation, colour theory, and the discipline of the daily sketchbook. 41 of them are now in NIFT, NID and fine-art programs.
